Dead Summer is the new collaboration between Levi Zadoff and Dead Hendrix, two skillful musicians based in Los Angeles and Ottawa, respectively. Dead Summer is a story of mourning and is authentic, bold, and challenging, with a relentless exploration of loss, grief, and the consequences of the global pandemic. With heavy themes like drug abuse, the EP uses the idea of the previous summers that pass on to engage with deep feelings of loss and beyond during the lockdowns.
Dead Summer offers relatable, profound song lyrics paired with strong vocal performances and melodies. The EP involves collaboration with IOF, Yago Beats, SPLASHGVNG, and Imani Beats, to create an exciting new mix of pop, punk, rock, and rap that makes the work unique piece at the edge of various genres. Each song is full of raw emotion and a sense of vulnerability. Every track has its own flavor and quality, from a sarcastic, bitter track like Don’t Think It Could Get Much Better to the introspective, emotive Alone. The feelings are expressed as they are, genuine and strong.
